Looking Back These Past Few Months

When I'm not shooting or testing various lighting set ups, I'm trying to keep up with all my image files in Lightroom. Yesterday I found myself working with all my images shot thus far in 2008. I put together a web gallery in Lightroom and have post it HERE. I'll be narrowing down these images to just a few of the winners for 2008 at the end of the year.

If you see an image in the web gallery you'd like more information about, let me know. I'll be happy to discuss how the images was created, the lighting and what ever else you'd like to know.

I have lots of video to go over, all shot while on recent assignments and I hope to post those and more details about the individual images created at the Indy workshop of Small Strobes, Big Results.

I always enjoy your posts and images, David. Thanks for sharing your work and insights. I didn't realize you'd been in the area for the Indianapolis workshop (I'm in central IL). If you're back this way, I'll try to make arrangements to attend.

On page 5, the firefighter in the top row--is that just a single SB unit lighting the subject? Or is there something more involved happening?

David, it's all great work in your gallery, very proficient! IMHO, I would leave out a few of the "ordinary" portraits (where almost no extra lighting is involved). To me, it makes your very strong portfolio a little weaker.Nevertheless, it's always very interesting to read your blog, the watch your video's and to look at your images. I hope you keep that up.

Beautifully composed and diverse portfolio. I especially enjoy the center image on the 4th page. Is there a strobe behind the laptop and another with a blue gel to camera right? It looks believable so it's hard to tell.
